Lisamarie Buckley RN, MS-Director

I have worked in the field of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation almost 25 years, having started the Cardiopulmonary Rehab. Program at Hunterdon Medical Center in 1985. As a certified cardiac/vascular nurse and Exercise Physiologist I quite passionate about this field and have seen tremendous growth and activism- Studies have finally been published which demonstrated the importance and effectiveness of these programs. I am most fortunate to work with incredibly talented group of people who share similar beliefs and love of the patient. On a personal note, I'm one of those crazy people who love to exercise, enjoy running as well time spending time with my family. Oh yes, I forgot one thing... Go Army, beat Navy!

Sharon Finer RN, BSN-Nurse  

 I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The College of New Jersey in 1982.  I have been a member of the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Department since 2005, when I joined the healthcare team at HMC.  Having previous work experience in ICU and the ER, I am able to apply my knowledge and clinical skills to assess and care for this groups of individuals.  I get to see the patient and care for them following their acute medical events as they progress through the rehabilitation phase in their recovery process.  It is a very rewarding feeling working with these patients, helping them set goals to make lifestyle changes for a healthier wellbeing, and even more rewarding for them, when they actually reach their goals--which many of them do!  Our department is very "hands on", working collaboratively with the patient and their physician.  We provide the foundation for them to hopefully continue to maintain positive changes in their lifestyle.  I enjoy working with each patient and feel very fortunate to work with such wonderful co-workers who share the same passion!
